DOHA, Qatar, April 5 -- As the first U.S. commando came through the door of the hospital room in Nasiriyah, he called Pfc. Jessica Lynch's name.<p>There was no answer. She had buried her head beneath the bedsheets, apparently frightened by the gunfire and unfamiliar voices. She drew the sheet back but remained mute.<p>The commando called her name again: "Jessica Lynch, we're the United States soldiers and we're here to protect you and take you home."<p>
NASIRIYAH, Iraq, April 14 -- Accounts of the U.S. military's dramatic rescue of Pfc. Jessica Lynch from Saddam Hospital here two weeks ago read like the stuff of a Hollywood script. For Iraqi doctors working in the hospital that night, it was exactly that -- Hollywood dazzle, with little need for real action.<p>"They made a big show," said Haitham Gizzy, a physician at the public hospital here who treated Lynch for her injuries. "It was just a drama," he said. "A big, dramatic show."<p>***This story, plus the 60-point banner-headline "rescue" of the POWs released two days ago?? Oink.***
